the st. louis, and i notice the title here, "voyage of the st. louis." and, of course, that entire journey has been written about as the voyage of the damned. and that is probably an understatement. because they never were able to land in cuba be, their destination. had to go back and roughly -- i don't know the exact numbers -- two-thirds of them somehow managed to survive world war ii. a third of them did not. so when they could not land in cuba, they went back to their deaths at different times and at different places. we're really privileged to have two people who know about this subject and will talk to us about it. one of them is martin goldsmith, to my left. martin is the host and classical music programmer for symphony hall on siriusxm satellite radio, and he hosted npr's performance today from 1989-1999 he's the author of two books, the first the inextinguish bl similar to beny. and the second is "alex's wake," which has to do with his grandfather and uncle who were two of the more than 90

the st. louisheriff's department believes patricia stallings may be to blame. >> we have sent formulas, baby bottles to a laboratory to be tested. >> lab tests once again confirm in ryan's blood the presence of ethylene glycol, a main ingredient in antifreeze. the bottle patty used to feed ryan during the visit is also sent to the lab and comes back positive for traces of ethylene glycol. prosecutors believe they now have enough evidence to make their case. police arrest patty stallings and charge her with assault. while stallings sits in jail, ryan's condition worsens. patty is desperate to see her son, but the judge won't allow it. still in the hospital with only his father by his side, ryan dies three days later. patricia stallings is now charged with murder. reporter john auble with ktvi-tv in st. louis follows the case closely and interviews stallings in jail. >> they're saying that you somehow put something into that -- >> right, and that's just -- unless they think i'm a magician or somethin

story three, finally, we have the st. louissouthern california, and northern new mexico, the five bent children. they were born and raised on the arkansas river. about 50 miles east of the rocky mountains along santa fe trail, kind of the anchor of the santa fe trail for a long time and the indian trade that develops around it. then -- bent's children were the issue of a great diplomatic marriage between the family of st. louis and santa fe, and the greatest arrow people of the southern cheyenne, named white thunder. here we have bent's fort. that's a watercolor done in the 1840's. here is another image of cheyenne indians striking camp by george kaplan. william bent married in a traditional cheyenne ceremony. after she died in 1847, her sister stepped into the role of bent's wife in the children's mother, supporting this large kinship network. after 18 48, everything begins to change in this world as well, and bent and his cheyenne can find themselves in a rapidly changing situation. the gold rush of 1849 brings enormous waves

>> my experience in the st. louis va have productivity data for every psychiatrist as to the number of patients being seen. and i know that there is only one who perhaps didn't get the full performance based for what could consider to be the bonus and that's me because actually for their own reasons they were correct. you could accomplish what i set out to do but just do what you want to do it you will not get into trouble for not working. the only reason i think one can get in trouble is by identifying problems and then coming forward. so that has to change. and i think it is a complex issue with the college culture, that the fix can be very simple and demanding the data and holding people accountable. you know, that once that starts to happen and some senior positions, not people that redesigned again, they have high integrity that they re-sign because they have integrity, but the people who don't care, those people need to b be fired be fit it sends a message that this is not -- this cannot be tolerated anymore. so

>> in my experience in the st. louis va, i had productivity data or had data for every psychiatrist as to the number of patients being seen, and i know that there is only one psychiatrist perhaps who did not get the full performance pay which is what would be considered a bonus, and that's me. i got 50%, and actually for the wrong reason they were correct because i only could accomplish probably less than 50% of what i set out to do, but it sends a very wrong message that the way to go about in the va is to just keep quiet, just do what you want to do, and you will not get into trouble for not working. you know, the only reason i think one can get in trouble is by identifying problems and coming forward. so that has to change. and i think, you know, it's a complex issue if you call it culture, but i think the fix to it can be very simple. and demanding data integrity and holding people accountable. once that starts to happen and once some senior positions, not people who resign who, again, have high integrity that they r

right now, i think at least in the st. louis v.a., they do not think that this is a serious issue. like two weeks ago i was called in a a meeting with the chiefoff chief where the outpatient psychiat psychiatry, the person i worked with very closely to implement my changes was also called into that meeting. at that meeting, i was specifically told that the chain of command must be respected at all times. that if i had any issue or if he had any issue that we should report it first to our supervisor and move up the next level and next level. so -- >> could you finish up because i'm running out of time. >> we have three others. >> so i think your recommendation for having very quick and serious consequences to retaliation would be very important. >> thank you. dr. head. >> yes. i think there needs to be greater repercussions for retaliation. we have laws deferred to as shield and sword laws. sword laws meaning if i retaliate against someone there are laws saying retaliation is against the law. they can warn the person don't retaliate but they can continue to retaliate against the pers
